I don't know how to drop all 'bb' tables via phpmyadmin.
I do have a database copy if that is what you mean?
This has all went beyond my abilities I've tried to follow the directions and do this I really have, I've done my best to show you my problems so I could get the help I need. I know it is hard to help someone without seeing the problem.
I dopn't know what else to do... didn't know what else to do except follow the advice of someone who said he never got it to work either. I messed up big time huh? Can you give me instruction on how to add the posts back to the current forum? I'd rather have had CBB 3.0.8 but I spent a week on it.
